TODAY in HISTORY: May 7, 2012 Vladimir Putin Became Russian President for the Third Time

Vladimir Putin

Because of constitutionally
mandated term limits, Putin was ineligible to run for second tenure
during 2008 election, the winner of the presidential election Dmitry
Medvedev appointed Putin Prime Minister.

On this day May 7, 2000, Vladimir Putin was inaugurated as the
president of Russia for the first time. He has been the President of
Russia since 7 May 2000. His first term in office as president lasted
from 2000 to 2004, his second tenure lasted from 2004 to 2008.

In September 2011, after
presidential terms were extended from four to six years, Putin
announced he would seek a third term as president. He won the March 2012
presidential election with 64% of the votes.

He was Time
Magazine's Person of the Year, and in 2004, 2008, 2014, and 2015, he was
placed on its 100 Most Influential People in the World list. Putin
studied law at the Leningrad State University in 1970, and graduated in
1975.

Putin
is a great man. A man that knows his history. He remembers how great
the Soviet Union was and has made Russia bigger than they ever were
after some terrible Presidents before him. He's stabled the country,
made them a force internationally, respect has grown and Russians are generally prouder than before.

@jesse:
but he had unfriendly policies that cut russia away from other world
power. for instance, putting "foreign agent" law that did not allow
russia even russia NGOs from collecting external fund or help
